Ritual Of Eating
Have you heard about the Yajyam? Yajyam is a holy ritual according to the Ancient Indian Sciences. In this one offers the particular herbs, Ghee and all other necessary needs for life to fire. By offering these items, one shows the gratitude of him towards the natural powers for all this beautiful world and all the need full things available with the nature. Same we do while eating the foods. We offer the foods and drinks along with all the nutritive materials to the internal fire, known as Jatharaagni, for our vitality. But most of the times, we eat just to fill our tummy and for taste. Foods are the best planning of the nature to give us the vitality. We should say thanks to the God, to the mother nature for all this. Which give us life and strength to live.
So before eating the food don't forget to say thanks to the almighty powers for all that you are consuming to live. Actually while eating something we sacrifice a life, whether it is a plant or an animal. We should be thankful to that food to sacrifice its life for us.
This seems myth, but it is true! For example, if you forcefully brings someone to your home, will he be happy? No, never, it wont be less than a crime of kidnapping something!! In second case, someone if enters in your house without wish, what will be your attitude towards him? Not pleasant! Same happens with you. So next time when you are on your dinner table, don't forget to welcome your food in your body and also please invite that food to your body. And don't waste the food by leaving it as a wastage. Perhaps if you will just have what you need, one or two of your brothers and sisters can get it. When you are hungry, only eat then. |
